Even though he is a journalist, Goodwyn really considers himself a storyteller. He grew up in a Southern tradition of telling good stories, and he thinks radio is a perfect medium for it. After college, he first worked as a political organizer in New York, but frequently listening to WNYC led him to wanting a job as an NPR reporter.

Wade GoodwynCopyright 2018 NPR. To see more, visit SARAH MCCAMMON, HOST: A new true crime movie by first-time Texas filmmakers is getting good reviews. It's called "Bomb City," and it recounts the killing of a young punk rocker in the town of Amarillo. Nineteen-year-old Brian Deneke was deliberately run over by a high school football player during a fight. NPR's Wade Goodwyn covered the murder when it happened two decades ago. He has this report on how the story's being told today. WADE GOODWYN, BYLINE: The movie "Bomb City" gets its name from the nearby Pantex nuclear weapons assembly plant and also because the cultural conflict between two groups of Amarillo teenagers - the preps and the punks - explodes on the screen. The film opens on the night of the deadly fight. (SOUNDBITE OF GLASS SHATTERING) GOODWYN: A frigid gale diminishes the vacant neon-lit landscape.

The organizers of an event for Democratic Senate candidate Beto O'Rourke have set out 50 chairs, but they're worried now that's going to be too many. But by the time the candidate bounces through the door, they're unfolding dozens more chairs as the crowd zooms past 100. O'Rourke, who currently represents the El Paso area in the U.S. House, is running for the chance to unseat the Republican incumbent, Ted Cruz. No Democrat has represented the Lone Star State in the Senate since 1993, but O'Rourke believes he can beat the odds, in part by campaigning aggressively in every part of this sprawling state. "Of the 254 counties [in Texas], we've visited 226 so far. This is 226 today," O'Rourke tells the crowd, who have been chanting, "Beto, Beto!" O'Rourke has his work cut out for him.

In an interview with NPR Thursday, Arpaio said he would be honored if Trump follows through. And he welcomed the idea of Trump holding a planned campaign rally in Phoenix Tuesday, despite concerns by the mayor and others that it would inflame emotions after the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia. He said he hadn't yet been invited to the rally, but held out the possibility that he'd been in contact with others at the White House.

Cruz is holding several town halls across Texas during the current congressional recess; he will also be in San Antonio and Austin this week. The audience Wednesday night was mostly veterans who are friendly to the senator. The event was sponsored by the conservative group Concerned Veterans For America. There were just four to five questions from the audience and all were screened in advance.

It's part of his vow to increase deportations of unauthorized immigrants. It's called the 287(g) program, and nowhere was it put into practice more aggressively than in Maricopa County by former Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Arpaio, who was ousted in 2016 , first became renowned for his severe and sometimes demeaning methodology with prisoners — pink underwear and thick, black and white horizontal prison stripes for men and chain gangs for incarcerated women. But it was in immigration enforcement that the sheriff started to acquire a degree of infamy. The program was created in 1996, but local law enforcement agencies were slow to participate. After Sept. 11, 2001, the pace picked up a bit; around the country, a few dozen local law enforcement agencies designated a handful of their officers to pull double duty as deputized immigration agents.
